4 PARTITION THAT WOULD SUIT
IDAHO.

The editor of the Portland News,
Ike all unprejudiced persons, opposes
he proposed partition OF Idaho. At
Tseoma, recently, he said:
am in hopes that your Territory
will be admitted next Congress, and |
pould like to see it como in without
reference to this Idaho question. |
.u against that move. JUDGED, there
10 no reason for tho cutting up Of
Idaho and attaching it to Washington
and Nevada. The way to settle this
Mormon question is like Horace Gree
ley's advice about the timo to cut
.own alder bushes, which was just
nofore camp meeting; aud 80 l think
~ish relation 70 Utah the true way to
get rid Of the evil Of po!yzamy is to
ut up the Territory aud parcel it out
10 Nevada and Idaho. In this way
Bill Stewart could increase the size
If Nevada without interfering with
ina autonomy of Idaho, or Washing.
'on either. New England maintains
. solid front, and it is the only section
It the Union that does in the Senate,
and AZ Z consequence that portion of
the United States gets all it wants in
the way Of legislation. So here on
tho Pacific Coast we should stand to.
Sether, the interests Of one the inter,
ssts Of all; and with 10 or IL Sena.
tors We will DO in a position to assert
ourselves and be felt in legislation.
I hope the politicians will not inter.
ters With Washington's speedy admis
sion.
Idaho should not DO out up. Sc
far, We agree With Mr.. O'Meara. Bu'
re do not want any portion Of Utah
- Idaho has Mormons enough With,
hsr borders already. Let Brigham
Young's serfs be appor.ioned to Colo
ado and Nevada. Tho lstter need.
them, and the former will doubles,
accept the proportion allotted to he'
without serious objection.

and last plan Of what | think can be
done-yiz.. The consol debt OF 1871 can
be settled at - cents on the dollar and -
per cent. interest receivable coupon
bond at forty-hve years from July J.,
1887. The ten forty debt can be settled
at G3 cents on the dollar and per cent.
interest-same kind Of bond. The over
due coupons can be settled at 30 cents
on the dollar, 3! per cent annual interest
similar bond. All other Indebtedness
can be funded under the Riddleberger act.
This would be $1l9,4j9 annual interest
less than the committee representing the
Council Of Foreign Bondholders offered
to take, and $S7,l5l more annual interest
than our Joint committee offered. VIII
the Council OF Foreign BondhOlders ac-
cept this? Yes | think so, If anew bond
with a tax-receiyable coupon Is given
them. Our annual interest would be
$s04, 4,272 and the total principal 24,1OO,
33l after excluding that portion of the
new per cent bonds held by the Sinking
Fund and Board Of Public Works, which
was agreed to be cancelled, and except
inr such old bonds with interest thereon
as are held by the United States. This
calculation, however, reserves Us assets
which were supposed TO be worth cash
100000, and possibly the State might
raise $7j0OOO In this event she could
purchase s 100000 in coupons, thereby
reducing the principal to $23,9jG,33l and
the annual interest TO S17S, ,G22.
Now the correct amount Of the Riddle
berger bill would be, If the whole debt
had at first been funded under It, S23,0iS,-
s24, at 3 per cent, annual SG9l =
lOi. But the Riddleberger bill dates July
I. 1882. and the State has only paid In
round numbers, at a guess, say, about
$500 900 interest, all told, under this bill
therefore If the back interest were now
charged up she would owe the bOndhOld-
ers under that act about $26,0O0,OOO prin-
cipal as OF July /. 1887, the interest OF
which at per cent. would be $4,000
whereas under this settlement ! propose
